Exuberance is the defining quality of great scientists, statesmen and managers
Unconventional wisdom
Enough with convention already
For people with unconventional ideas, exuberance is an important attribute that may be taken for granted or stifled.
In an interview with Federal Computer Week, author and Johns Hopkins University psychiatry professor Kay Redfield Jamison discussed the importance of exuberance and its relationship to unconventional thinking.
In her view, exuberance is the defining quality of great scientists, statesmen and managers. Jamison cites examples of people whose exuberance led to scientific breakthroughs, such as Robert Gallo, one of the early investigators of HIV-AIDS when he was at the National Institutes of Health, and Andrew Cheng and Robert Farquhar, astrophysicists at Johns Hopkins' Applied Physics Laboratory who work on NASA contracts.
"Exuberance carries us to places we would not otherwise go," Jamison writes in her book "Exuberance: The Passion for Life." She defines exuberance as resiliency, energy, optimism and expansiveness. Exuberant people have a heightened awareness that brings curiosity, courage and
Exuberant managers and leaders inspire others and create infectious enthusiasm. Although they have a capacity to overcome problems, their exuberance also brings risk. Overly enthusiastic people may strike others as unreflective, error-prone or hasty. Exuberant people can appear to be all fizz, Jamison said, and supervisors may try to temper their energy.
"While we don't want a society of all exuberant people, we do want people exploring and taking risks," she said. "In a time of tolerating diversity, we need to consider tolerance of temperament."
Jamison said that exuberance is not a mania. It bears some similarities to a Type A personality, except that a person with those characteristics can be joyless.
In a society that values organization and order, people who come up with unconventional ideas may find themselves not taken seriously. "Exuberance is vulnerable to ridicule, but much more importantly, exuberance is not recognized for the vital role it plays in discovery, creativity and leadership," she said.
Although exuberance is a largely inherited quality of temperament, the trait can be nurtured. Jamison observed that when NIH scientists are given the most latitude, they do their best. Although rules may be necessary, less structured situations can encourage original and enthusiastic effort.
Exuberance is contagious, and if you are a person of ideas, being around exuberant people can be encouraging. Most of all, appreciate exuberance if you have it
Telework question
My Nov. 22, 2004, column, "Telework's Wintry Mix," anticipated the Office of Personnel Management's new procedures for responding to adverse weather conditions. Those procedures recognize employees who telework as an invaluable resource.
To ensure uninterrupted service to the public, OPM officials suggest that agency supervisors may wish to require teleworking employees to continue working, without overtime or compensatory time, when the agency is closed.
Although the purpose is worthy, should employees telework without extra compensation when colleagues have the day off with pay?

I really like my flat iron. After blow drying my hair it's a little thick but once I use this flat iron it brings back my normal grade of hair. I use it all the time. It does have a safety that will shut it off if I walk away from it for too long which is something I really like. I've never had it turn off on me while in use unless it sat for a few minutes. I think it's a great product but it does depend on the thickness of your hair.
Love the curls I can make with these and get hot really fast the are awesome!!!
I needed a new flat iron and i couldnt afford an expensive one right now so i decided to give this one a try but it just didnt straighten my daughter's thick hair not even on the highest setting. It also kept shutting off like it was getting overheated. Nice safety feature but it should not do that when you are using it. Maybe it will work for someone who has thin hair or relaxed hair but it just didnt work for us.
It doesn't get as close to the roots as I would like it to. I had to keep going over the same piece of hair several times.

Beware The Keytar
On this week's All Songs Considered, we listen to some great new electronic music. These days, there's a flood of creative electronic sounds, both danceable and laid-back.
We've seen this flood of new electronic aesthetics before, both in the '70s and '80s. Having lived through that, as an electronic musician and a listener, I toss this bit of caution to fans and players: Beware the Keytar!
The Keytar is the single most obnoxious instrument in modern music. It combines the worst part of a keyboard (plastic and monophonic) and the even worse part of a guitar (no guitar strings, no body).
I'll pull a random YouTube Keytar video and it will illustrate my disdain.
Now, I am not expecting a resurgence of the Keytar any time soon. But like the devil, the Keytar is sure to rear its ugly head on current electronic music in some other form. In fact, AutoTune has essentially been the Keytar of the '00s, and it still creeps into this decade far too often.

"What would Jesus do?" Questions being asked by the Occupy movement are a symptom of an even wider movement to read the Bible in news ways, as the alliance of church and state breaks up, says New Testament specialist Lloyd Pietersen. He suggest three interpretative moves that have to be made to re-connection with biblical texts today.

SePtl, 1970 H. G. BANICK TUNING INDICATOR SYSTEM FOR FM RECEIVER United States Patent O 3,526,838 TUNING INDICATOR SYSTEM FOR FM RECEIVER Harold G. Banick, Eau Claire, Mich., assignor to Heath Company, St. .losepln Mich., a corporation of Delaware Filed Dec. 20, 1967, Ser. No. 692,121 Int. Cl. H04b 1/08 US. Cl. 325-455 2 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A tuning indicator for an FM receiver in which the functions of a signal strength meter and tuning meter, referred to as a center tune meter, are integrated in such a way as to facilitate tuning. The disclosure includes improved circuitry for energizing the meters.
It has been known in the past to provide a signal strength meter in receivers of various kinds, usually energized directly from the automatic gain control, or A.G.C. line. It has also been known to provide a meter at the output of a ratio detector in an FM receiver and which is actuated by the direct voltage component of the output.
It is an object of the present invention to provide an FM stereo receiver in which the functions of a signal meter and center tune meter are integrated in a novel way to enable the user of the receiver to tune a signal quickly, conveniently, and with assurance, even with the speaker system silenced. It is another object of the invention to lprovide an FM receiver having a signal meter and center tune meter which avoids the condition of ambiguity which arises when such meters are separately used. It is a related object to provide a tuning indicator system which is particularly applicable for use with an I.F. amplifier having crystal filters and characterized by a fiat, well defined pass band and which insures that the incoming signal is tuned to the center of the pass band. It is another related object to provide an FM receiver in which the signal meter and center tune meter are arranged in such a way that all of the information required for precise tuning and evaluation of the signal can be observed at a glance, the two readings merging, in effect, into a single coordinated observation.
It is one of the more detailed objects of the present invention to provide circuitry for actuating the signal meter which produces a highly sensitive reading on weak stations and which has provision for compressing the reading at the upper end of the scale for stations of large sig-nal strength to prevent a condition of overload. Similarly it is an object to provide a modified circuit for energizing the center tune meter from a ratio type detector to provide a clearly defined null combined with good stage linearity.
Other objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent upon reading the attached detailed description and upon reference to the drawing in which:
FIG. l comprises a circuit diagram, partly i-n block form, of an FM stereo receiver including an improved tuning indicator constructed in accordance with the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the components of a typical transmitted FM signal.
While the invention has been described in connection with a preferred embodiment, it will be understood that I do not intend to be limited to the particular embodiment but intend to cove the various alternative and equivalent forms of the invention included within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
Turning -riow to the drawings, FIG. 1 shows a receiver circuit embodying the invention while FIG. 2 shows the components normally found in a transmitted FM stereo signal. The L-f-R, or left plus right, component which is in the audio spectrum (50 Hz. to 15 kHz.) is the portion of the signal utilized by monophonic FM receivers. Above the audio range and extending on each side of a center frequency of 38 kHz. is a multiplex L-R signal in the form of a suppressed carrier, amplitude-modulated by the difference between the left and right-hand audio channels, interposed between the audio and multiplex signals is a pilot signal at a frcquency of 19 kHz. which is used as a phasing reference in decoding the multiplex signal and in controlling a switch to switch the receiver to the monophonic mode. At the top end of the spectrum are optionally transmitted signals referred to as SCA which are filtered out and not utilized in the present receiver.
In FIG. l portions of the circuit are shown in detail while other portions, know-n t0 those skilled in the art, or susceptible to cross referencing, have been shown, for the sake of simplicty, in block form. The receiver has a tunable R.F. amplifier 10 arranged for connection to a suitable antenna. The signal from the RF. amplifier is mixed with that from a tunable FM oscillator 11 in an FM mixer 12 to producean output signal having a center frequency at the standard value of l0.7 mHz. Such signal is amplified in the LF. amplifier generally indicated at 20 which, in addition to its amplification function, provides an automatic gain control signal on A.G.C. line 21. The output of the I.F. amplifier is fed to a ratio detector 30. After passing through a filter 31 to remove the SCA components, the signal is passed to a multiplex decoder 32. The latter serves to separate the signal into its left and right components which are separately amplified by amplifiers 33, 34 connected respectively to loudspeakers 35, 36, as discussed in Brahman Ser. No. 683,725, filed Nov. 16, 1967, for Phase Adjusting Arrangement for FM Stereo Receiver.
In carrying out the present invention the I F. amplifier 20' includes a plurality of wide band amplifier Stages with means for limiting the output and a plurality of bandpass crystal filter stages centered at a frequency of 10.7 rnHz., with the amplifier and filter stages being connected alternately in sequence with one another. Thus, referring to the drawings, the LF. arnplifier has an input resistor 41, and an impedance matching capacitor 42, connected to the input terminal 43 of a crystal bandpass filter 45 having an output terminal 46. The filter is preferably one having a characteristic which is flat over the pass band with a center frequency of 10.7 mHz. but which drops sharply on each side of the pass band in accordance with the following table:
Bandwidth (kHz.): Db down 0 200 1.5 240 3 500 20 1100 50 The filter should have good phase linearity, maintaining linearity to within plus or minus 3% or better measured as deviation from the best straight line over the 200 kHz. width of the pass band. While the filter circuit may be any circuit capable of producing similar bandpass characteristic, I prefer to employ a Butterworth cir`- cuit having two piezo-electric crystals as set forth in my co-pending application Ser. No. 690,939, filed Dec. l5, 1967, for LF. Amplifier for FM Receiver. Connected to the output terminal of the bandpass filter I prefer to use an auxiliary stage of amplification formed of a transistor 50 in which the base is fed by an input capacitor 51, with bias being determined by a resistor networl 52, 53. In series with the emitter terminal is an emitter resistor 54 bypassed by a capacitor 55. The collector is fed through an output resistor 56 which is connected to a terminal 57 which is the output terminal for the stage. This transistor stage is provided primarily to feed laterally-connected circuitry to be described.
From the terminal 57 the signal passes into a high gain, wide band amplifier 60 having an input terminal 6,1 and an output terminal 62, a capacitor 63 being imposed ahead of the input terminal. For the details of the wide band amplifier, reference is made to co-pending application Ser. No. 690,939. It will suffice for the present to say that the amplifier stage is characterized by a high degree of linearity, capable of limiting action with a signal of 600 microvolts to the input terminal, and with a maximum output swing of about 1A; volt. The input impedance is preferably on the order of 2900 ohms and the nominal output impedance is preferably about K ohms. The gain within the stage is preferably about 61 db at 10.7 mHZ. Positive voltage is supplied to the amplifier by a terminal 64 through a resistor 65 which is connected to a positive bus 66.
Coupled to the output of the amplifier is the input terminal 73 of the bandpass filter 75 having an output terminal 76, the filter being preferably identical to the filter 45 previously mentioned. The output signal from the filter is fed to a second wide band amplifier having an input terminal 81 and an output terminal 82 with a coupling capacitor 83 on the input side and having an output resistor 84. The amplifier 80 is preferably identical to the amplifier 60. Direct voltage for the amplifier is obtained from the positive bus 66 via a decoupling network consisting of resistor 85 and capacitors 86, 87. Since the filters are preferably designed for a source and load impedance which is relatively low, on the order of 500 ohms, matching resistors having a relatively low resistance on the order of 620 ohms, indicated at 91, 92, are connected in shunt with the filter output terminals. Similarly a resistor 93 having a relatively low value on the order of 510 ohms is used at the input of the filter 75.
Because the voltage at the output of the amplifier 80 is limited, an additional stage of amplification is used consisting of a transistor'100 having an input capacitor 101 and an input resistor network consisting of resistors 102, .103. A resistor 104 is connected in series with the emitter. Coupling to the ratio detector takes place through a collector output resistor 105.
In carrying out the present invention, means are provided for sampling the signal and deriving A.G.C. and signal strength voltages at a point in the LF. amplifier ahead of the amplifying units 60, 80 in which limiting takes place. Thus referring to FIG. l, a transistor amplifier is provided having an input capacitor 111 connected to the output of the amplifier stage 50 and having a base resistor 112 and a collector or output resistor 113. The amplified signal, taken from the collector is passed through a coupling capacitor 114 and rectified by a voltage doubling diode rectifier 115, 116. Prior to being fed to the A.G.C. line 21, the signal is filtered by resistor 117 and capacitors 118, 119. Preferably the diodes 115, 116 are of the germanium type having a forward voltage drop so that substantially no A.G.C. voltage is produced at low signal levels, this being referred to as delayed A.G.C.
In accordance with the invention a signal strength meter is provided for indicating the level of signal strength ahead of the limiting portion of the LP. amplifier, driven via a separate meter amplifier which is independent of the A.G.C. line and which is therefore not subject to the delay which occurs in that line. Use of a separate meter amplifier achieves a high degree of sensitivity at low signal levels, with means being provided to shunt the signal automatically at high signal levels to prevent overloading of the meter. Thus, referring to the drawing,
an amplifying transistor 120 is provided having its base i 124 providing high frequency isolation. To rectify the i signal voltage for the meter, a voltage doubling half wave rectifier is provided consisting of diodes 131,132 which are coupled to the collector of the transistor via a coupling capacitor 133. The rectified output voltage is filtered by a capacitor 134 shunted by a resistor 135 and by an output capacitor 136. The meter, indicated at 140, preferably is such as to provide a full scale indication -with microamperes of current. A series resistor 141 is preferably so chosen as to give approximately 2/s full scale indication with a signal on the order of 1000 microvolts at the antenna of the receiver. Protection of the meter at higher signal levels and effective compression of the upper end of the meter scale is provided by a shunting diode 142. Such diode preferably is of the germanium type having a forward voltage drop which varies with the magnitude of the applied voltage.
In practicing the present invention a center tune meter is provided, responsive to the direct output voltage from the ratio detector, and located immediately adjacent the signal strength meter lfor simultaneous and coordinating i viewing as the set is tuned. As shown in the drawing the center tune meter, indicated at 150, is preferably placed just to the right of the signal strength meter 140 so that the swing of the pointer, or indicator, on the latter carries the eye in the direction of the center tune meter, the
` pointer of which is centered to provide indication of final and precise tuning.
To understand the circuit employed for driving the center tune meter, more detailed reference will be made to the ratio detector 30. Such ratio detector includes a transformer having a primary winding 161 and bifilar secondary windings 162, 163. The transformer is resonated at the LF. center frequency of 10.7 mHz. by a capacitor 164 which shunts the primary winding. One end of the primary winding is connected, via resistor 105,:
to the collector of the transistor 100 while the other is connected to the positive voltage bus shunted by a capacitor 165.
The secondary output terminals, shunted by capacitor 170, are connected to a balanced circuit including diodes 171, 172 and Series resistors 173, 174 and 175, 176. The
input ends of resistors 173, 174 are shunted to ground i by low value capacitors 177, 17S while the resistors 175,1
176 are shunted by a large capacitance 179. An output terminal 180 connected to the junction of resistors 175,`
voltage on both of the secondary windings, and to avoid the effect of this voltage the meter circuit, instead of being grounded, is completed by connecting it to the voltage source.
Thus, in operation, the voltages which are respectively induced in the secondary windings create two current loops. The first is via diode 171, resistors 174, 176, resistor 181 and through the meter 150. From the meter the circuit is completed via the primarywinding 161 and auxiliary resistor 182 to the common connection of the transformer secondary. The second loop includes the diode 172 and resistors 173, 175 with completion through the same meter circuit. At the LF. center frequency of 10.7 mI-Iz., the two currents are of equal magnitude,
cancelling each other. However when the LF. frequency deviates from the center frequency due to the FM modulation, the current in one loop increases while the current in the other decreases, with the resulting uctations in output voltage forming the output signal. When the signal is not in tune so that the center frequency of the LF. signal is either higher or lower than the 10.7 mHz. resonant frequency of the detector, corresponding to the center of the I.F. pass band, a gross unbalance occurs in the detector output circuit causing the pointer of the meter 150 to occupy a position either to the left or right of center. The circuit is preferably phased so that the motion of the hand on the tuning dial corresponds to the direction of movement of the indicating pointer as it is moved to center position for precise tuning.
It is found that the two meters, 140, 150, arranged side-by-side, supplement one another in conveying to the user of the receiver the information which/he needs for proper tuning, particularly where the signal utilized for the signal strength meter is taken from a point in the I F. amplifier characterized by a fiat, steeply skirted pass band. In the present instance the signal is taken from point 57 which follows the bandpass filter 45 and non-limited amplifier 50. Under such circumstances the signal strength meter does not evidence a well defined peak but sufiices simply to tune the signal to the plateau of the pass band. Once such plateau is reached the eye automatically tends to shift to the center tune meter where additional slight movement of the dial causes the pointer to move to center position.
It should be noted, conversely, that the signal strength meter usefully supplements the normal function of the center tune meter. In conventional receivers the indication of the center tune meter is ambiguous. When the pointer occupies the center position, this may either indicate that a signal is being received and is in proper tune, or it may indicate that there is no signal present at all. Such ambiguity is resolved by the signal strength meter; indeed, it might be said that the ambiguity never arises since the user of the receiver, noting a positive indication on the signal strength meter, can attach immediate validity to the position of the pointer of the center tune meter. In short, the readings of the two meters, taken simultaneously, at a glance, comprise a single coordinated tuning indication. This is found to be true even in the case of untrained persons operating the receiver for the first time.
Absent the signal strength meter, the tuning of a station by the center tune meter along requires experience and interpretation, i.e., knowledge that the pointer indication is only valid where rotation of the tuning dial causes a swing of the pointer from one side of center position to the other. Using the present invention the presence of a reading on the signal strength meter establishes the validity of the null reading of the tuning meter with no necessity for further manipulation. The utility of the combined reading is further illustrated by the fact that a signal may be perfectly tuned with the loudspeakers silent.
In spite of the fact that a relatively high positive voltage on the order of 8 volts exists at the terminals of the center tune meter, returning the meter circuit to the positive bus nullifies the effect of such voltage upon the meter reading. Consequently it is not necessary to balance out the unwanted voltage by separate or adjustable means and a meter movement of relatively high sensitivity, say, one producing full scale ldeflection from center position upon passage of 75 microamperes, may be used.
In addition to serving as indication of the relative signal strengths of different transmitting stations, the signal strength meter provides an automatic check on the antenna and all of the circuit components located ahead of point S7 where the signal strength is sampled. When the reading is reliably high, accompanied by normal volume, at the normal setting of the gain control in the audio amplifier, the set owner has assurance that the set is operating at peak efficiency. Any drop in the average reading of the signal strength meter indicates that the installation should be checked. Where a rotating antenna is employed, the reading of the signal strength meter provides a convenient reference for adjusting orientation. Also the reading of the meter may be utilized, if desired, in the setting of the squelch threshold control where Stich a control is provided in the receiver.
While the invention is particularly intended for achieving the precision of tuning required in stereo reproduction, it will be apparent to one skilled in the art that the invention is not necessarily limited thereto and may be employed with considerable advantage in the tuning of a monophonic signal. Also, while it is preferred to employ meters of the moving coil or DArsonval type, it will be understood that the term meter as fused in the following claims is not limited to meters of this type but includes alternative devices providing the necessary progressive and centered indication, respectively. Moreover, while it is preferred to use a ratio detector, of the type disclosed, as a discriminator, it will be understood that the term is applicable to any detector producing a direct output voltage which varies in magnitude upon departure of the signal from a precisely tuned condition.
I claim as my invention:

(ENCINO, CA) -- Nick Manning's new lingerie store, LA Exotique is facing eviction from the landlord, despite being paid in full on rent, only three weeks after opening the doors. The store in Encino, at the cross street of Ventura and Louise is owned by Nick Manning and adult stars Michelle McLaren, Rachel Roxxx, Sarah Jesse, Mikey Butders, and Justin Syder. Dean Sussman, Manning's longtime adult distribution partner is also an owner and the Managing Director of LA Exotique.
The move to evict the store comes as a shock after lengthy cooperation and legal compliance adhered to in order to move in. Over $90,000 was paid to the landlord, Ventura-Louise LLC, in advance of the move. Only after the doors opened did the hostility begin.
"Dean Sussman has put in a remarkable effort to open LA Exotique," explains Nick Manning. "He carefully met with the zoning executives and it was determined that we were a lingerie store and not even classified as an adult bookstore. We have diligently adhered to the guidelines provided to us by the zoning board."
Among the troubles, Dean Sussman was informed by the delay in having their sign for the store delivered came from Ventura-Louise LLC. The store has been inundated with threatening phone calls from attorneys and individuals impersonating police and city councilmen.
Manning's lease allows him the opportunity to sublease the unused portion of LA Exotique. Adding insult to injury, Ventura-Louise LLC has rejected every potential tenant Nick Manning has submitted.
While business has been excellent, the harassment is wearing on Manning's nerves. "It's obvious that they are just making life difficult because I'm an adult film star. I vow to fight this censorship, keep my store open, and adhere to the business plan that we shared with everyone involved prior to opening our store."
On Thursday, October 25th, Manning will appear on the Howard Stern Show on Sirius Radio to discuss the situation and support LA Exotique.

canelo is clearly being protected by gbp and the wbc in order to turn him into a ppv superstar and that **** is so annoying. he was pretty much handed the wbc belt when he fought matthew hatton (neither guy was even ranked top ten in the division) and since then gbp have carefully given him over-matched and undersized opponents to look good against. both rigo and golovkin turned pro much later than canelo...rigo only has 11 fights but he has done more relevant **** than canelo has in all his 40+ fights. also golovkin isn't a legit world champ and after demolishing proksa (who was ranked top ten in the division and considered a nice opponent) others in the division have shown little interest in facing him...so it's not his fault that he can't get any of the big fights. whereas canelo could easily get fights with some of the top guys in his division sicne they've all been calling him out, but he'd rather face someone like josesito lopez.

Rigondeaux is a hell of a fighter, I don't even need to look at who he beat in his 11 fights to tell me that because I have watched him fight.
I certainly don't give a flying fuck about who started their better or worse and that is not keeping your eye on the ball on the big picture~

It's not trying to be an actual bank — in the technical, banking license sense — but does enable immigrants and expats, who might otherwise find it hard to open a bank account outside of their home country, to access core banking services.

I want to use jQuery's (or something similar) selectable functionality: http://jqueryui.com/demos/selectable/#display-grid. However, I would like to be able to force selections.
For example, for the grid, if a user starts at 1 and drags to item 6 only 1,2,5, and 6 are selected. However, I want 3 and 4 to be selected because they are between 1 and 6 (the start and stop points). Couldn't find any implementation of this online. Thanks.

Luis Suarez edges close to completing £70 million Barcelona move [The Sun]

- July 3, 2014
- Comments0
Luis Suarez is edging closer and closer to his dream move to Barcelona, according to The Sun.
The biting Uruguayan is on the verge of completing a move to Spain as Liverpool have given up all reluctance to let him go and have accepted the fact that Suarez isn't worth the trouble.
They still hope to hold out for more money though, several sources claiming that their valuation of Suarez is closer to £80 million.
But for Barcelona, the important thing is that Liverpool are willing to negotiate and part with their star striker for the right price.

The problem of privacy-preserving data mining has become more and more important in recent years. Many successful and efficient techniques have been developed. However, in collaborative data analysis, part of the datasets may come from different data owners and may be processed using different data distortion methods. Thus, combinations of datasets processed using different methods are of practical interests. In this paper, a class of novel data distortion strategies is proposed. Four schemes via attribute partition, with different combinations of singular value decomposition (SVD), nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF), discrete wavelet transformation (DWT), are designed to perturb submatrix of the original datasets for privacy protection. We use some metrics to measure the performance of the proposed new strategies. Data utility is examined by using a binary classification based on the support vector machine. Our experimental results indicate that, in comparison with the individual data distortion techniques, the proposed schemes are very efficient in achieving a good trade-off between data privacy and data utility, and provide a feasible solution for collaborative data analysis.

Thank you.

Water Ruling 'Great Victory' For Ga.
A federal appeals panel has tossed a lower court ruling that would have severely restricted the main water source for roughly three million people in metro Atlanta. The ruling Tuesday by the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals overturned an order from U.S. District Court Judge Paul Magnuson. His order would have starkly cut Atlanta's ability to take water from Lake Lanier starting in July 2012 unless the governors of Georgia, Alabama and Florida can reach an agreement ending the long-running water dispute.

"Chicago is home to several world-class museums," Edward Burke said in a statement. "And it has come to my attention that such an exemption is reasonably warranted to allow such institutions to display unloaded firearms that often accompany uniforms and other historical artifacts."

Campus Quality:
The facilities at the school are amazing.
Campus Quality:
Very hands on and focused on growing deeper not only in music but with the Lord.
Campus Quality:
The student body is small which allows us to be more of a family. But because it is small there is limited amount of facilities. What they do have is great but it will just take time for more growth and expansion.
Campus Quality:
It's a school unlike any I've tried applying for. It meets every requirement I had in choosing a school. The school is small and more personable while still maintaining a high quality education. With it not only being music affiliated but also ministry centered, it's the only place I want to go.
